Unit will not shut off

Has anyone experienced this? When I switch of my ignition, the unit shuts down, but the LED's stays on. Then I'll have to hit the reset button to get it to boot up again. I think this may be a software issue, or else it wouldn't have shut off when I hit the reset? I have tried to reset to factory settings and reflash the rooted firmware, but no luck. This first happened after I tried to use the HSDPA-dongle that came with my unit, before that it worked fine, so it isn't a wiring issue. Is there any other way to totally reset the unit than flashing the firmware/reset to factory settings? After restore/flash it seemed like some settings I made didn't get reset. I'm suspecting something with the APN settings, as it started simultanously with the use of the HSDPA-dongle.

Any ideas would be apreciated!

I got this device, installed and tested USB Host Controller from Google Play and I get "S3C USB Host driver NOT found!" while it does recognize that it is connected as USB Headphone Set. I wish I could get this to work.

Problem solved, maybe...

I think I may have found the problem. Looks like the APN-settings I entered while using the HSDPA-dongle wasn't reseted/deleted when I flashed it or did a factory reset. I manually deleted them erlier today, and now it looks like it turns off normally. Makes sence, since the problem started when I experimented with the 3G/HSDPA-dongle.

I apologize if this has been answered in a post later on, I'm still catching up to the current posts on this thread but for those with the auto pair issue try this:

Requiring root of course

Go to /data/misc/bluetoothd/[btdevideid]/linkkeys

Duplicate the file "linkeys" and rename to" linkeys.bak"

open linkeys with an editor

Find the Mac address of your ODB device and other devices you want to autopair

change the second to last digit before -1 to 4

reboot and see what happens.

This should allow the unit to auto pair with previously trusted devices. I have done this with my Sony Liveview and phone but I don't have my Head unit to test this on yet. It's a non-volatile "hack" so if it doesn't work you can revert back to the original file by deleting the linkeys file and restoring the .bak file.

If this works please comment and thank. If it doesn't please comment too!

Prepare for roasting.....

The "Pure Android Experience"="Google Access" that I have read about repeatedly of you people, is an ill conceived and very wrong opinion. Google Access has absolutely nothing to do with the android experience. In fact, Google would be faced with the same problem as Microsoft a decade ago if the use of its services were tied to the functionality of the Operating system.

The use of Google's servers may enhance your Android experience but it is NOT your Android experience. The lack of Google integration could be a marketing/licensing issue or it could be piss poor software engineering. The point is, stop crying about Google integration when Google is not Android.

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION. I just rooted my Razr hd Max a couple days ago, but did not unlock the bootloader. Like I said in my post the Foxfi/PDAnet works great with many devices I own, however, not on the Car Adroid unit. My Droid charge did work with the Car Android unit & Foxfi no problem. After rooting the phone, I tried all the hotspot programs of any value from the play store. None would work. Only Foxfi/PDAnet boots up, connects with the head unit, displays it is connected on the phone and the car unit, but when opening playstore or browser or any other internet program "no signal" comes up. Pretty frustrating considering I can only use the unit when I'm in my garage or somewhere parked where there is an open wifi signal. It's just bizzare the the hotspot works with my computers, laptops, tablet and friends phones can pick the hot spot up, but not the car unit. What is actually causing "no signal" when the car unit is connected to the hotspot ? This what I really don't understand. I will try your SQ Lite. It's worth a try. If that does not work, I might try the bootloader/ROM route, but I would be just shooting in the dark, not knowing what I'm really doing.

Functionality

hello everyone,

I have a question about functionality to ask unit owners. Is anyone able to transfer files such as music or pictures to an sd card in the unit via usb? To be more specific, I have a 32gb micro in the unit but if download music to my 16gb card in my phone (galaxy s3 stock) and want to transfer it to the card in the unit via usb... the unit never acknowledges my phone as an input device but it does charge my phone so I know that it works. I even took my card out of the phone and put it into two different micro sd card readers but I never see the card recognized by the unit.

I tried different file explorers but it never acknowledges the usb drive. Does anyone else experience this?

A bug in thr radio app

I think I finally found the bug that was causing this. If the AF button is highlighted in the radio app, the unit will not turn off completly. I have tried restore to factory default and reflashing several times, but now I'm quite sure its this little bug with AF(alternative frequence) that is the caus.

Could anyone be kind andtry this on their unit, to see if it acts the same way? Just press the reset-button to get back to normal again. Is there a fix for this?

android 4.0 OS car stereo capacitive touchscreen 1G CPU 1G RAM support OBD

[Android Head-Units] festor:
That’s a strange one. The phone and radio are android apps and on their normal wnce/android units they are part of the wince side. It has the facia from the dual boot units though with no back button and the sd card slots reversed etc. Looks like it must have BT for OBD out the box too?

I don’t think they have been selling the dual units so maybe they created a few more aps for the 4.0 side and hide wince totally?

I always had an error message when starting YouTube app - not able to login.

But now I got "unsupported file format" message when trying to play videos. Searching is working and results are shown but can't play any video.

Any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] festor:
Not sure if it needs it, but maybe it’s an issue with flash player? Also, do you have valid google account setup for the play store etc? Can you view flash content with opera? I will give the app a try, but I only have a stock/un-rooted unit.

Btw, have you tried the media player (piano logo)? Does it list and play your music in reverse?

On a separate note, I’m not so sure that WinCE isn’t lurking somewhere behind the scenes on this unit somewhere. I’m having a bit of an issue with the dvd drive not ejecting discs so I happened to try a data cd with some mp3’s on it today. I think it’s the first time I have tried this type of disk. Anyway, it fired up the utterly terrible media player from my previous dual boot unit. No scan, pause or anything… it doesn’t even resume after a power cycle (see pic below). This was part of the WinCE side of things previously. I have even seen it on WinCE only units. Why is it popping up now? Also, as someone mentioned before the reversing camera works after a few seconds and well before android boots so there must be some other os there… right?

I bought this unit and installed few day ago, the problem is that when I listening to radio or DVD and I get a phone call does not mute the music and ring in the unit speakers, I thought this unit is capable to do this and even display that I have an incoming call. I paired it with a Iphone 4S I am not sure if the phone will make a difference.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Deleted Sygic

I just installed this unit on Friday. I got it with a license plate camera for $349 with free shipping. For the price this is a fantastic car stereo/entertainment center.

I rooted using Hal's ROM. Thanks for providing it.

I messed up though and deleted the Sygic installation files that came with it. I wasn't aware that the programs that the ebay auction promoted as being on the unit weren't actually installed and were in a folder. I downloaded Sygic from Google Play and installed it but wasnt happy with it.

I ended up deleting the Sygic folder that contains the files the unit's manufacturer put on it.

Is there any chance someone could upload the North America version of Sygic that came with the unit? If not I understand, I asked the seller but all they would give me is the installation PDF.

Interesting, but an "android only system" might have a different meaning for him. Not sure if you saw my post above, but I suspect WinCE is even lurking somewhere on this "pure android" unit too.

Where/who did you buy yours from? Good writeup/mini review...cannot wait to get one. It seems like most of the features have been well implemented on this unit and not just slapped on to make a long feature list...some of them, like the SWC system and Torque, wont apply to me as this will be a discrete installation into a classic car.

Hi.

I bought my unit straight at Hifimax. Transaction and contact went over "Winnie" (Sales05). Must say it was a very pleasant experience : although I send them 10-or-so mails with all kinds of questions about the specifics of the device, they/she always replied very fast, polite and accurate, and if something needed to be clarified, she send me the pictures with details of such-and-so.

I bought it for 295USD exclu P&P. And the unit arrived on my doorstep 3 or 4 days after they received the money. All cables that you need are included, so is the wifi module. The extra external DVB-T tuner costed 60USD or something like that, and it came with 2 active antennas.

As for "long feature list", they actually only list a marginal part of their feature list although the're quite a couple of features that make it a rather unique device at that price point. The level-adjustable (external) micro for example, a speed compensation-volume system (not sure if this will work if your car doesn't feed the speed info over a Iso Connector though ... I know of systems that used the Mic to do this, but I think/presume this feature won't work if there's no speed-feedback), the DVB-T Diversity system ... it's all possible/there, but they don't advertise about it. Also, the capability of doing 2 camera's (front and back) and combine that with an extra DVB-T input : rather unique for devices in this price range. 2 year waranty.

The fact the "hardwarebuttons" aren't really buttons but touch-sensitive sensors is also a nice touch. (litterally).

Hifimax builds "clone headunits" for high-end cars like Mercs, BMW, Audi ect that look and feel like the original thing. I've got the impression these guys don't just cobble a box together, they have a pretty good understanding what a normal, non-tech customer expects from their units : and that's a good sign.

Maybe I'll be cursing this unit in the future for whatever reason yet unknown to me now, but at this moment, I can only give a positive recommendation to both the unit and the company.

As for Vintage Motoring : I'm driving a Dacia Duster, low cost, low tech 4x4 SUV. Basically : older Renault Tech. It's about as close to "Vintage" you can get when you buy a new car these days. I've modded the hell out of it while keeping its appearance "official and clean" making "invisable upgrades" using older Renault-family parts, so I do recognise what you're saying there. My previous car was +/- 19 years when I had to say goodbye to it, and I'll refuse to buy a car which won't let me thinker with it for as long as I can or dares to tell me I can't change a bl**dy light bulb without having to visit my dealer :good:

For ADHOC (if you used the root'ed image) go back a few posts see: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42481985&postcount=1013 I posted how to get that to work ;) Just a quick note, I was using my wifi OBDII for a while but I since I use WiFi for my internet connectivity, I ended up going with a very small BT versions (see link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350810923754 ) In short, if you use wifi for internet access, a bt obdII would be the best combination.

What did you use as an external mic? I tried to pair my bt headset to the unit (I am using an external bt adaptor) didnt work. The onboard mic is absolutely horrible. As for my reverse camera, I never got it to work right. For some reason when the engine is running I wont get an image. I know the wiring is correct b/c when the engine is off it works. So until I figure that part out, I just have it in the aux port (stupid VW!!!) LoL!!!

Note: Any of you using Waze + BT OBD w/Torque? For some reason I noticed that when Waze is running Torque will loose its connection. Waze does have an option to play via BT which I disabled. Anyway could just be my stupid usb hub.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
:)

Your post was one of those that made me believe I could do that myself, altough as said, I'm an Android-nitwit. I've read several versions of that already but it was until I read yours that I thought "okay, if I can get root, I should be able to do that too". Please take note : this isn't the Ouku I'm talking about but the I802 series of devices, I don't think there's a rooted firmware for that thing floating around yet.

As said, yeah, BT would be nice, but if I can get it to work with Wifi and it is simply a matter of "selecting this or that" for either data reception or torque function, I'm already happy. At least that way, I'm not dependant on the work and progress of other people.

The I802 comes with an external mic as standard. It's a pretty bog-standard 3.5 jack affair, nothing fancy. I've been using another external mic for my previous unit which looks ugly, but works very well. Bought it from Ebay some time ago, I'll see if I can dig up where I got it this evening. Thing costed 3USD or something. But you're right, the internal mic of nearly any headunit I've seen, tested and used so far is somewhere between "quite bad" and "absolutly useless" when making handsfree calls. Which is also one of the reasons why I discarded the Ouku as solution for myself.

As for your rearcamera thing : that is REALLY odd. I'll aks around on a couple of other forums, maybe somebody else has some input there.
